# Sovereign ID Layer

ARTIS provides the standard registry for DID registrations (Method: did:ethr) and the management of Verifiable Credentials, which is needed to develop a whole new set of use cases. 

![DIDs are self-certified and make Certification Authorities redundant](https://598102864-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MJ6XK28t44RFy_Rkkty%2F-MJqv40yE3jKhdMG2VPr%2F-MJrY6ovD9VZ_p1yQl9y%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=7aaacc8d-b0ba-4a1e-81b7-2b7135b8e173)
